Roy Hodgson has assured David Moyes that Wayne Rooney will only play in England's friendly against Scotland on Wednesday if he is fit.

The match, celebrating 150 years of the Football Assocation, is being used by Hodgson as preparation for England's four remaining World Cup qualifiers in September and October.

After suffering hamstring and shoulder injuries, Rooney has played only 45 minutes of football in pre-season, in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Real Betis at Carrington, Manchester United's training ground, last week.
